05/10/2012- Looking for more whole grains? This recipe is wonderful with 100% whole wheat pastry flour. And soaking the whole wheat over night in buttermilk aids in digesting the grain (http://nourishedkitchen.com/soaking-grains-nuts-legumes/).
Thanks for the great tips. betsy@kaf

- WOW!! These are awesome. So light and crispy. I made these exactly as stated. There is nothing to improve upon. I'm making these again this weekend.

- My first sourdough recipe, wonderful waffles, best ever!
04/23/2012- I'm not sure if it's just my taste buds, but these waffles were a bit to tangy. My son, who normally LOVES waffels, wouldn't eat them. Is there a way to sweeten the batter a bit? Add honey or sugar, perhaps?
If the sourdough flavor is a bit too much, try using a regular waffle recipe and adding half of the amount of sourdough. You'll get some pleasant tang, but not as much as this recipe. MJR @ KAF

- Absolutley fantastic pancakes! I followed the recipe exactly but next time will add more sugar. My kiddos loved them and I can't believe we can have hot pancakes early in the morning simply by doing work the night before. Perfect sized batch for this family of five. THANKS!

- They taste great - i added a little more sugar since I like my waffles sweet. Though I forgot the baking soda they still have a good texture due to the active sponge. Will definetely keep this one!

- Wonderful! I had fed my starter too recently for these to have as much tang as I hoped for, but nonetheless, the result was excellent! Great texture and flavor. We "veganized" the recipe using plain soymilk with about a tsp of vinegar, "flax eggs" (milled flax + water, rested overnight), and Earth Balance buttery sticks. Didn't miss the eggs or butter one bit! I did reduce the salt by 1/4 tsp because the Earth Balance is salted. You may be wondering what the yield is for these. .. for us it made about 9 waffles in our Waring WMK300 Belgian waffle maker.
03/03/2012- Truly great recipe. I am new to sourdough baking, but this was a breeze. Our small waffle iron turned out two each for my wife and I, and we put 8 in the freezer. The taste really is delicious, with classic texture.

- What adjustments need to be made to double this recipe? One batch just isn't enough.
Just double the recipe! Elisabeth
